I Changed My Mind

A change is necessary to improve my current mental health.

No circumstance is fixed in this life. Every living thing constantly evolves and grows.

Changes in lives, positively or negatively should be celebrated and acknowledged. The brave ones move forward, leaving behind their life mistakes and taking it as a lesson learnt. The less courageous ones keep on arguing about their losses until the world ends, living a ‘dead’ life by standing in the same spot until the real death comes.

I am the brave one.

I have regrets and guilt, I take the consideration of the respective others too and I believe any relationship that started from the wrong side would never prosper. “The continuous talk aka promises aka BS with no ACTION” burned me out. It was like talking in front of the mirror bla bla bla but in the end, it was just empty words. The lying, the cheating, the manipulation, the selfishness, the ignorance, the egos and other toxic traits are the ‘poison’ in any relationship or friendship.

Hiking Bukit Saga in Cheras

Bukit Saga is located in the middle of Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, about 20 km from my Subang Jaya home.

We were looking for a place to do a quick hike before the Ramadhan month started. Since Bukit Saga was the nearest, we decided to give it a try. Expect lots of uphill steps along the trek and please use any hiking app on your phone to guide your way deeper into the jungle as the routes were not properly marked.

I use my Kommot app to guide my way along the trek.

Why do people hike

I am not a mountain trekker.

Yes, I did a ‘day hike’ around Malaysia but I never try mountain trekking. The thought of having to endure pains and aches along the journey to the peak scares me. Why do I want to do that to my beloved self, my inner self voice talked me out each time.

Mardi Himal trek

I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something different.

When a good friend of mine suggested a new hiking trip to Mardi Himal, Nepal, I was skeptical. My body is not fit enough for long days of mountain trekking. My excuse is consistently the same, it’s not my kinda game. He shared with me a few beautiful photos of the Mardi Himal landscape, I googled more information about the place and later said yes to the trip.
